Default Re: MegaMillions Overlay?

If I managed to do the math correctly, the jackpot value I get for 0 EV is a little less than $144 million.

EDIT to add: I have neglected the possibility of splitting the jackpot with one or more other people who chose the same correct numbers as you. If you were to split the jackpot with one other person, the jackpot would need to be twice as large so that the effect of splitting it with another would be nil (i.e., about $288 mil). If split between three people, it'd need to be three times as large (i.e., about $432 mil).
